Next year I am getting into the last year of my 20s and I am not gonna lie, I’ve really enjoyed them and I know my 30s will be so much better.
And because I enjoy giving unsolicited advice as a first born virgo daughter, here is a list of advice for my girls in their 20s
There have been copious examples of this and it really speaks to the colonial, imperialist hangover of Britain. Deeply embedded in their psyche through centuries of fuckery. Perfectly OK when it's happening to Black and Brown people but god forbid it happens to White Europeans.
Jon Snow declined OBE as he believes working journalists shouldn't take honours from those about whom they report. Also said ‘It does seem to me time that we respected the idea of honouring achievers in our society without inflict[ing] them with this antediluvian word “empire.”’
It's so important to speak to people that have similar goals with you in a similar point in life, you learn so much from each other and keep each other motivated!
Gentrifiers moving into working class areas and then calling it a shithole genuinely makes my blood boil. "Yeah I moved to Hackney, I haven't been stabbed yet tho LOLOL" I wish you a very fuck you.
Thought for the day:
If you are wrongly accused of a crime, this govt can refuse you legal aid, force you to pay privately for lawyers and, when you’re found not guilty, refuse to reimburse you, leaving you penniless.
Meanwhile, there is unlimited money for new patriotic boats.
I firmly refute that you can be good at your job, cook your own food, exercise regularly, have friends, keep your home clean AND have a dating life... something has to give
